Driving in Ukraine can be very dangerous because of the police

The following video was recorded by a dashboard-mounted camera of a car that was driving on the roads of Ukraine when all of the sudden several police cars that were escorting what looks to be government officials decided that they should drive almost entirely out of their lane, thus endangering the civilian cars that were minding their own business on their side of the road. We really don’t understand why the local authorities decided to drive on the oncoming lane, especially since their own lane was empty. Regardless of the reason why those police cars were in a hurry, they should have driven on their side of the road, thus avoiding putting in danger the rest of the cars which as you’ll see in this video stopped to minimize the potential danger of a crash.
